My greatest debt 
will yet be due 
For sacrifices you 
bave made 
And cares that I 
have brought to you. 








































































































I have been slow 
to understand 
The patience and 
the love and pride 
"With which for my 
sake you have 

hour own ambitions 
put aside. 







from me 
The praise that I 
have longed to hear, 
Y>u, Father, have been 
quick to see 
Ar^d glad to speak 
the word of cheer. 









% 













































W ITH eager efforts 
you Have sougkt 
To smootk my paths 
and make them 
fair, 

Unselfiskly expect 5 
mg naugkt 
In payment for your 
tender care. 










I have been slow 
to learn, but now, 
With recollections 
■ that are sweet, 

I braid a laurel for 
your brow 
And lay my tribute 


at 


your 


eet.
